FORWARDING AGENTS CORNER
Jon and I thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week vacation abroad! This was our first ever vacation overseas so we were very excited! We got to see my 2 cousins that live in Hamburg, Germany and see many sites there as well as in  London, England. We spent a week in each city. In Hamburg we toured Chocoversum (a chocolate factory), visited Miniature Wonderland (the world's largest model railway exhibit), toured a concentration camp, visited the famous and beautiful St. Michael's Church, walked through the old Elbe Tunnel, walked around the park Planten und Blomen (literally translated "Plants and Flowers"), visited the Hamburg Fish Market (they sell a lot more than just fish!), and walked through a Russian U-Boat. In London we visited Madame Tussaud's wax museum,  the London Eye, SEA Life Aquarium, the London Dungeon,  Regent's Park, Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, Stonehenge, a Roman bathhouse, Buckingham Palace, Leicester Square, Covent Garden, Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Tower of London, Harry Potter Warner Bros Studio (my favorite part!), and Harrods, we also got to see the changing of the guard at  Buckingham Palace, Parliament, Big Ben (even though the tower was under construction),  Westminster Abbey, Westminster Cathedral, Tower Bridge, London Bridge, and St. Paul's Cathedral. We were so exhausted from walking so much! Our flight landed Sunday night and we went back to work the next day! We are both still recovering from slight colds we got on vacation (what a bummer!) and jet lag, but we are so glad we got to do all that we did and wouldn't change a thing about it! I am sharing a few pictures with you here (bolded words are those pictured), but I took over 3,000 pictures during those 2 weeks! If you want to see more I will be posting them onto my Facebook page next week sometime.
- Jon and Marissa

believers the importance of reading their Bibles every day. Here (right) you see that they have accountability to each other by having a time where they read scripture together. Reading out loud together is most enjoyable.
On occasions when Joel is gone to Burma side to evangelize among the Shan people, Miss Plu Phow (left) teaches and leads them in worship and Bible studies. She also teaches music and guitar, music drama, and coaches the young people to have singing contests too.
